Importing environment variables from shell script file to Perl

bugsbunny has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

hi,

I have some shell scripts and some perl scripts.. I store some paths and other variables as shell script.. Now I want to be able to import these vars into my perl-scripts.. ex.:

myenv.sh

#!/bin/sh
blah=/tmp/test
balh3=/xyx/zzz
[download]

myshell-script.sh

#!/bin/sh
source myshell-script.sh
...do something...
[download]

myperl-script.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl
..what to do here...
[download]

I need some simpler&shorter solution, not f.e.:

open FILE ..;
undef $/;
$x =<FILE>;
%hash = split /=/, (split /\n/, $x);
close FILE ..;
[download]

Also what i should do if i decice to put some code..:"), probably not but in any case...

thanx

update (broquaint): added <code> tags and fixed formatting
